Hibs give fantastic response to fan wanting Kompany deal

Hibs have given a supporter a fantastic response after he suggested the Hibees sign Vincent Kompany – by insisting Ryan Porteous will be “ready to go” by the start of pre-season.

The Manchester City icon announced earlier today that he was leaving the Premier League champions before it was announced shortly afterwards that he’d be taking the reins at Anderlecht as player/manager.

In the brief gap between the two announcements, fans were scrambling to tell their club to sign the Belgian – but Hibs don’t seem to think they need to now-former City captain.
